Syndrome: Hello, Scarlet Truther.

Scarlet Truther: Hello, Syndrome.

Syndrome: Ready to start akumatizing?

Scarlet Truther: Well, unlike yesterday when things didn't go exactly as planned. I hope this time things will go well and we will win this time.

Syndrome: If things don't go as we hoped or planned, I have an idea or two up my sleeve to help us out.

Scarlet Truther: I'll keep that in mind. For now, let's see what we got here in ye olde Paris. *She goes up to the monitor and looks at the view of Paris. So far, nothing's been happening lately.*

Syndrome: Anything?

Scarlet Truther: Nothing at the moment.

Syndrome: But something will come later on.

Scarlet Truther: Who do you get on your list of heroes?

Syndrome: I'm thinking of getting Mister Ink.

Scarlet Truther: Mister Ink? Who's that?

Syndrome: A villain I met. You'll see when I bring him over after your attempt at an Akuma failure.

Scarlet Truther: Think I'll be less impressed. *She walked away a little bit.*


In Paris, a few minutes passed, and Marinette's phone rang, it was Alya on facetime. She answered it.

Marinette: Hey.

Alya: Hey girl. We're at Juleka and Luka's houseboat, they're doing band rehearsal. Are you guys coming?

Marinette: I don't think we can.

Alya: Why?

Marin: Our mom's at the hospital.

Alya: What? What happened?

Rose: The hospital?

Nino: What's up? *Adrien shrugged his shoulders.*

Marinette: That's what we're trying to figure out.

Bridgette: We're hoping nothing's wrong with her and the baby.

Marin: We'll let you guys know when they come back and tell us what's going on.

Alya: Alright. Let us know.

Marinette: We will. Gotta go. *She hangs up and they do something productive until their parents come home.*


Meanwhile, Marc and Nathaniel walked to the bookstore for the contest.

Nathaniel: So, why did you enter this contest again?

Marc: You mean the Junior Author contest? I decided to test out my writing skills by entering it. Today, they're about to announce the winner in... 1 hour.

Nathaniel: I'm sure you'll win.

Marc: Hope so. (I hope so.)


Meanwhile, 1/2 an hour passed and the door opened, it was Tom and Sabine.

Tom: Hey, guys.

Marin: What happened?

Sabine: Just mild cramps. I'll be fine as long as I will be on bed rest.

Tom: Luckily, no damage to the baby.

Sabine: Yes. We still have appointments with the doctor and a few stuff to do. Right now, I have to be on bed rest.

Bridgette: Until when?

Sabine: Until I'm ready to give birth.

Tom: I'll help you up to bed.

Sabine: I got it. Quit doting on me.

Tom: I'm not. I'm just trying to help.

Sabine: I don't need help. *She goes to her room and relaxes.*

Tom: Okay, while your mom is on bed rest, let's get to the bakery. *They get up from the couch and walk to the door to the bakery and go through it, Tom turns the light on, they put on their aprons, and he goes to the door and turns the closing sign to open.* Okay, listen up. You all did well helping out today. I didn't give you guys money yet. But you'll get it on the 4th.

Marin: Which is 2 days away.

Tom: Yes. Now let's do the same thing we did yesterday happen today, okay? *They all answered okay to Tom.* Okay, let's get to work. *They all get to their stations and wait for the first customer to come in.*
